Gabrielle H. An absolute classic and super camp horror film; horror wouldn’t be the same without this movie. Such a staple. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/09/25 Full Review e6 e The Hills Have Eyes is a gritty and intense horror classic that showcases Wes Craven’s talent for creating raw, unsettling tension. The cinematography captures the desolate landscape perfectly, adding to the film’s claustrophobic and terrifying atmosphere. While the story leans on familiar survival horror tropes, Craven’s direction brings an emotional weight that makes it stand out Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/01/25 Full Review Spike D A steaming pile of crap. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/05/25 Full Review Nick O This early Wes Craven grind-house banger about a family getting stalked by cannibals in the desert is still just as terrifying as it is brutal almost 50 years later. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/03/25 Full Review Mike P Iconic 70s drive-in horror epic from Wes Craven, is a bloody-vicious family feud!..Between the rich city-folks from Ohio and the desperate mutant mountainmen from New Mexico...So it's the House of Clark vs House of Jupiter; and the Ohioans vs the "Romans"...Class conflict at its best and most ferocious...As the Clarks voyage across country to their luxury vacation resort in San Diego in their mighty Range Roving Winnebago....On the occasion of Doug Senior and Ethel's Silver anniversary...But then are waylaid by the psychotic cannibalistic "Romans"; who viciously overtake them, and then battle them to the death over precious resources...Their women; and the Clark's baby...And in many ways this is an extension of Texas Chainsaw Massacre; but aging up all the characters and making it about TWO FAMILIES battling makes it thrilling in ways that the earlier movie wasn't! It's positively GAME OF THRONES! And the dirt cheap production values and the cheesy 70s Cucamonga conga sound track does get distracting...But Craven still conjures up enough compelling craziness here, and memorable, disturbing imagery and thrilling suspense set pieces to keep us entertained. So this is recommended. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/13/25 Full Review James B While the original two get overshadowed by the remakes I can kind of see why as the stakes aren't high and it's just more slow paced.
